Say you have two BOs, one that completes in 5:34.56 and another that completes in 5:35.70. I don't care which one the program spits out, because they both are essentially optimal. What you would gain is an increase in calculation speed. | ||

I don't care which one the program spits out, because they both are essentially optimal. What you would gain is an increase in calculation speed. The problem is that a lot of the time, these two builds are anything but the same. If the 5:35 build leaves you with 25 drones and the 5:34 ones leaves you with 14, I would much rather have the 25 drones. Of course you CAN specify a minimum number of drones, but the point is that you don't know what the perfect number to put there is. If this program could somehow account for that, I would be happy. | ||

Let's say the terminating criteria is that you stop after X number of mutations haven't produced a beter solution. Obviously when you find a better solution, the counter resets to zero. Making builds that finish within one second of each other equivalent would reduce the number of times the counter gets reset and the program would terminate sooner. Is this correct (if not, what am I missing)? | ||

This doesn't work on any system I've tried it on. Is there anyway to copy the build order (other than print screen or a paper and pencil?) Select all and right-click copy. Ctrl-C/Ctrl-Ins won't work. | ||

One thing i am still not sure how to achieve. Lets say i send 3 workers to gas but @50 gas i want to remove the workers and place them back on the mineral line.. is this possible? if so how? thx in advance. | ||

If this program can't, is there an existing one who can do it? Thanks. | ||

Click OK (because Protoss is standard). Type 1 next to "Phoenixes". Press Start.

Also, what is completion likelihood? What is the point of the box 'target time'? edit: alright, alright, I'm getting a hang of this. | ||

Completion likelihood is the percentage of how confident the program is that it found the perfect buildorder. Target time explains itself. Just try out every box.^^ | ||

There are plans for such a feature, not sure when I'll get to it... On February 24 2011 01:31 Garnet wrote: noob question, but what are "Village", "Population", "Stagnation" etc...? They're to do with how a genetic algorithm (GA) works. As a rough summary - each build order that the program considers is called a chromosome, made up of genes that can mutate with each evolution. These chromosomes are grouped into 'villages' (the number of them is the population), within which the chromosomes 'breed' with eachother, which means when a new build order is created it is made from half of one chromosome combined with half of another, and then some of the genes might mutate. The villages are isolated from eachother except for every once in a while the best chromosome is copied from each village into the 'city' (basically a larger village). Stagnation occurs when a village doesn't make any improvements for X number of evolutions. Once the stagnation reaches the stagnation limit, the village is culled and restarted - this prevents the villages from getting stuck with a certain build order without being able to consider a completely different approach. | ||
